Part Two

Jessy was making good time through the woods when she first heard the motor bike but couldn't see it, until it pulled up in front of her stopping her dead in her tracks sending her to the ground to avoid hitting the dirt bike. As the driver came towards her, Jessy picked up a downed limb and readied to bash him if he came any closer. "Don't Jessy. It's me Zac." he said taking off his helmet. "Jesus Zac. First Isaac now you! What do you have against me?" Jessy asked. "Nothing Jessy. I thought you heard me coming." Zac said. "I did but I didn't see you. You gonna help me up seeings you dumped me on my butt. What you Hanson boys got against my butt. Ike puts me in gravel and you put me in pine needles." Jessy complained as Zac pulled her to her feet and took off his shirt and dusted off her butt. "Sorry again Jessy, I really thought you were stopping." Zac explained as Jessy just stared. "What? Jessy is something wrong?" Zac asked. "Huh. Oh Zac no, I was, I.." Jessy fumbled for words embarassed over her thoughts of Zac and how he'd grown up. "Jessy go ahead and ask. I'll do anything for you." Zac offered. "Zac I'm sorry I yelled at you. It's just, I was scared Zac. I didn't know it was you and I thought now what have I gotten myself into. " Jessy shared almost in tears. "Jessy don't be scared. I won't let anything happen to you." Zac promised wrapping her in his arms. Jessy's heart raced as she was surrounded by the scent of him and her mind raced. "Thanks Zac." Jessy whispered wrapping her arms around him and hugging him. "Sure Jessy. Anything, just let me know." Zac offered again. "Do you think you can get me home?" Jessy asked telling him where she was staying and he headed them cross country ending just down the street from the cottage they had rented. They made their way home and Jessy made them something to eat while Zac called home to let them know where he was. The two talked all the while they were eating and got along great, laughing and having a good time. After they ate they cleaned up the kitchen and did dishes together, "Thanks again for bringing me home Zac. I know Ike didn't mean anything about it. I'm just real sensitive about being called a child. You don't know the hoops I had to go through to be able to come down here. It wasn't bad enough having to complete all my school work before they'd let me off the month." Jessy complained. "Bummer Jessy. Ike said you guys really dance good." Zac said as he looked around. "Yeah we've worked real hard at it." Jessy replied remembering her promise to not share anything more than the fact they dance. "So did you hear about the solo competitions they're holding this year." Zac asked. "Yeah Zac, I've even signed up for a couple of them. Man this ought to bring in the best from around the country don't you think. You going to enter Zac. Prove to them all you're talented, not just a pretty face." Jessy asked. "Yeah right Jessy." Zac said laughing. "What's so funny? That I think you're talented or just another pretty face." Jessy asked gettiing real close. "You're not a child and I'm not a pretty face." Zac whispered. "That's your opinion. I agree with part of it though, I'm not a child." Jessy whispered leaning closer, adding, "If you're not a pretty face then you certainly are handsome." as they gazed into each other's eyes. As Zac began to slowly wrap his arms around her waist to drawer her nearer, the front door opened and in walked Faith, Chele, and Taylor. The five talked for a little while before Zac loaded his dirt bike into the back of the van and the two headed home. "So what did we walk in on?" Faith asked. "Nothing, could have been by nothing. I'll probably never see him again. I'm going to take a hot soak and then we can practice. I made frajitas for Zac and I, there's plenty leftover, just zap it and put it in a wrap." Jessy said heading to the bathroom. They practiced all afternoon, going over and over every note, every move, striving for perfection. As they sat around, staring at each other, too tired to even speak, Jessy remembered the feel of Zac's breath on her face as he leaned in for their almost kiss, Chele fretted over Taylor's behavior, his confessed need to spend time with her and Faith mulled over the conversation she had with Isaac as she tried to console him. They finally stopped day dreaming and reaffirmed their promises to put off guys, even Hanson, until after the Festival and competitions. "It's only ten days." Faith reminded. "God ten days. I'll never be able to keep Taylor back for ten days." Chele complained. "Zac will forget I exist by then." Jessy pouted. "Life's a bitch but then there's the joy of rocking the world after we step on the stage and make ourselves known." Faith suggested and the three whooped and hollered and returned to practicing. The next week was dedicated to practice, practice and more practice. "Chele you sure you can handle seeing him?" Faith asked. "All I know is I can't put him off anymore. This is big for Taylor for some reason I can't explain, but I'm starting to believe him. That we're meant for each other. Just get everthing put away so he has no reason to question and I'll be fine." Chele explained as Jessy moved her drums to the closet again, along with Chele's keyboards, their guitars, the speakers, amps, and everything else. "I'll get it. Hey Taaaa, Zac! What are you doing here? I mean I'm glad to see you, really glad." Jessy said. "I'm glad to see you too. How you feeling Jessy?" Zac asked. "I'm all better. I'm covered up so you can't see but I'm not even red anymore." Jessy answered. "I'm glad to hear that. You guys ready for the competitions?" Zac asked. "Yeah, just a few costume adjustments to make and we're ready." Jessy answered. "I thought about what you said and I entered the drum competition." Zac shared. "Cool. I'll have to make a point to come watch you." Jessy said. "What night you performing?" Zac asked and Jessy told him of just their first appearance. "Zac, how did you get here hun?" Jessy said looking around for his dirt bike. "Tay dropped me off, he had to run and pick something up." Zac answered then asked if she wanted to go to a movie or something. "Tay offered to give us a ride to the Mall and pick us up and bring us home." Zac asked. "I think I'd like that, do I look okay or should I change?" Jessy accepted and asked. "You look great Jessy, just the way you are." Zac answered gazing at her. "Here comes Tay now. I'm going to go get my purse and let Chele know." Jessy said leaving Zac to let his brother in. "Hey Tay, Zac. Sis will be out in a minute. Faith wouldn't let her go in tight jeans, she's afraid it will draw attention to you two and then someone might recognize you." Chele explained as Jessy appeared in a midi length dress. "I look like I'm ready for church." Jessy complained. The four loaded up dropping Jessy and Zac at the Mall where they first walked the Mall hand in hand, visiting the Pet store, the music store, stopping for pretzels and juice. It was while they sat in the food court eating, holding hands that Zac leaned towards her and finally kissed her and Jessy kissed him back. "Jessy, you know I think the world of you." Zac shared. "No Zac I didn't. When you didn't call or stop by, I, I, boy Zac I thought it was just me that felt that way the last time we were alone. I mean, I thought you wanted to kiss me then." Jessy replied. "Jessy, I was thinking the same thing, it was just me wanting you so and you, you..." Zac said stopping and turning away. "What Zac? You told me anything "Jessy just ask." I'm asking you to look at me Zac?" Jessy whispered. When he turned back and looked at her, they gazed into each other's eye. Jessy leaned her forehead against his, "What Zac?" she whispered. "I thought you didn't like me." Zac finally finished. "That's silly, pretty face, no handsome. I don't like you, I laugh. ha ha ha." Jessy replied, adding, "All I've thought about is this.." Jessy caressed his face, tracing his lips with her thumb as she gasped, then pressed hers to his as she moaned softly, inching her lips around his slowly. "Oh Jessy, will you be my girl?" Zac moaned. "Uh huh" Jessy moaned back at him. "You will. Jessy that's great!" Zac exclaimed. "That exciting huh?" Jessy giggled at his elation. "Yeah Jessy, this is wonderful!" Zac said pulling her to his lap and kissing her again and again. "Zac everyone's starting to stare." Jessy whispered. "There just jealous. The prettiest girl alive likes me not them." Zac whispered. "Right, prettiest girl alive, right." Jessy teased, caressing his head, adding, "No bumps, I was sure you had hit your head." "Your so funny, not." Zac teased kissing her again. "I love your kisses." Jessy whispered. "I love kissing you." Zac whispered. "Hey Zac." someone called out. "Oh hi." he answered as Jessy started to slip from his lap. "Where do you think you're going." Zac whispered pulling her back. "Zac your friends, what will they think?" Jessy whispered. "If they're smart enough, they'll know that I like you alot." Zac whispered, kissing her deeply. As he withdrew from their kiss Jessy was overwhelmed by all the emotions she was feeling, gazing at Zac so afraid of her feelings. "Baby it's okay? Jessy don't be afraid of it, I feel it too." Zac whispered caressing her face. "Oh Zac, you always seem to know what I need to hear." Jessy whispered as the group approached them."Zac it is you. Hey man." one of them said. "Yeah it's me. Jessy these are some of my friends from the old neighborhood. Joe, Mike, Beth, Chrissi, and Tina." Zac said, adding, "Everybody this is my girlfriend, Jessy." "Hi guys, nice to meet you. Do you all still live in the old neighborhood?" Jessy asked and the guys eagerly answered, Beth and Chrissi finally answered but Tina just glared. "So how did you meet Zac?" Mike asked. "I met Zac after I ran into his brother Isaac." Jessy giggled. "Ran into him is right." Zac said kissing her then sharing the story. "Wow, I gotta ask Ash to cut off a cutie for me." Joe said and they all laughed except Tina. "I'd say you got yourself a dare devil. I would have been so hurt if it had been me." Beth said. "Jessy's very athletic. She avoided serious injury because of it. Sort of rolled with the punches." Zac replied caressing Jessy's back and butt while kissing her again, adding, "Jessy dances. She's performing at MayFest." "They got competitions this year. Enter and I'll show you how it's done." Tina finally said. "Already have, signed up for the Compulsory Comp how about you?" Jessy asked. "No, Modern." Tina answered annoyed. "Compulsory! Man you must be good." Chrissi said. "Been dancing for three years now, I better be good." Jessy replied. "Only three years. Tina's been dancing forever, like four or five years old when she started." Chrissi exclaimed. "Well I signed up for Modern too, so I'll see you then." Jessy said as Tina turned and walked away. "Excuuuse me." Jessy whispered and they all laughed before decided to head to the Arcade. They were having a blast, laughing, kidding when Zac noticed Tay and Chele, "Hey babe, time to go." Zac said as Jessy was shooting baskets against Joe. "Yeah wait until I'm in the lead. Sorry Joe, gotta go." Jessy said. "Man Jessy hope we get to meet again. Well be there at MayFest cheering for you." Joe shared and the others ageed as the two left to catch up with Tay and Chele. "Sis." Jessy called out and Chele stopped and turned. "There they are babe." Chele said as Tay turned, wrapping her his arms, waiting for the others to catch up. "TayBear I love your bear hugs. I feel so safe and loved in here." Chele admitted. "Right where you belong baby, I been trying to get you to understand. You are meant to be. My meant to be. I knew the minute I looked at you." Taylor admitted. "Wow do they look connected." Jessy whispered to Zac. "She's all he talks about. He was really hurting when she kept saying no." he replied. "Zac it's not like we didn't want to see you guys, it's, we needed to be focused. I couldn't focus on what I had to do if you had kissed me that night. I would constantly be wondering if you felt the same as I did. Worried you didn't." Jessy confessed. "I know all about if babe, did you forget who we are?" Zac asked. "You, you're Zac. Umm my boyfriend." Jessy whispered. "Yeah I'm that babe, but I'm part of Hanson, I know all about giving up because of having to practice." Zac admitted as Jessy stared at him. "Uh yeah I guess you would undertand. Zac we've been busting butt. I'm so glad you came and asked me out, I needed this, having fun, learning that you like me too." Jessy admitted wrapping her arms aroun his neck, kissing him. "Taylor look. She likes him too. Dang, she didn't say anything, even when I asked she said he'd never call." Chele declared. "I told you I saw something between them." Taylor whispered kissing her cheek. "My little Love Doctor." Chele teased turning to him, adding, "And now you tell me that Faith and Isaac are going to be waiting for us at home huh?" "I feel it babe. You didn't see the way she looked at him when he felt so bad about lil sis booking. He melted her heart I tell you." Taylor insisted pulling her to him and kissing her deeply, adding, "Like you did mine." The four loaded up and headed back to the girls' place. "Like I said, there's Ike's car." Taylor announced as Jessy tensed up. "Baby it's okay, promise Jessy." Zac said unbuckling himself, then her and pulled her to his lap. "Jessy look at me? Baby please." Zac pleaded. "Zac don't make me do this." Jessy whimpered. "Jessy he's sorry, so sorry. Let him apologize and make it better." Zac pleaded. "He really is lil sis. He didn't mean you were a child, just you were younger than he thought sis. Jessy he admitted to me that he was interested in you, had thought about asking you out and when you told him how old you were, it just blew him away. What he was thinking was illegal." Taylor explained. "Sis just give him a chance." Chele asked. "Jessy he's sorry." Zac added. "Why not. How dare I look this way, lead him on like that." Jessy grumbled pushing away from Zac and heading to the house. "Don't bother, they straightened me out, this wasn't your fault. How dare I lead you on like I was older. I apologize. I'll dress like this from now on, there won't be any question. Goodnight." Jessy rattled off unemotionally heading to the bedroom. "Jessy wait." Zac called after her as Isaac hung his head. "This was a bad idea. I shouldn't have come." he mumbled. "Jessy talk to me please. This isn't what we meant. Please Jessy." Zac pleaded knocking on her door. "Let me try Zac." Chele said, "Sis it's me. Can I come in? Jessy?" Chele asked opening the door, "She's in the bathroom and the shower is running." she announced. "Jessy, let me in." Chele asked knocking again. "What?" Jessy asked unlocking the door wrapped in a towel, dripping wet, turning back and stepping back into the shower. "Sis please we didn't mean it like that, this isn't your fault." Chele insisted. "Yeah right." Jessy mumbled. "Jessy don't say that. You know how I feel about you. How can you think I think that of you? Baby I'm so sorry you feel we, I blame you for this. I don't Jessy honest. You're beautiful that's not your fault, that's your gift. You don't ask for that kind of attention." Zac insisted. "No I did Zac, this is all my fault." Jessy answered as she started to cry. "Jessy don't cry. I hate to hear you cry. It can't be that bad sweetheart, please don't cry." Zac pleaded as Chele grabbed a bath towel handing it to Zac and left the room. "Baby come here, let me hold you Jessy." Zac asked. "But.." Jessy said. "Baby I got a big towel, turn off the water and come here." Zac insisted, adding, "Please baby." "Zac hand me the towel from the floor so I can wipe off." Jessy asked as she turned off the water. "Sure Jessy," Zac answered picking up the towel and handing it in. As she took the towel in one hand, she caressed his hand with the other and Zac immediately turned his hand holding hers in his, pulling it to his lips. "Oh Zac." Jessy gasped. "Jessy let me hold you, please." Zac pleaded his lips grazing her hand as Jessy turned her hand to caress his face. One handed she wrapped the towel around herself and stepped out to him. "Jessy I'm sorry baby. Please don't feel it's your fault." Zac said holding her tight. "But it is Zac. I didn't mean to but I'm sure he thought I was older than I am. Everyone does. God I hate this. Ever since I grew boobs, everyone looks at me like I was so much older than I am." Jessy pouted. "That's not your fault. Jessy not even your skinny dipping was leading him on, you did it so discreetly babe. Nor showing him your butt. Isaac said he's seen more on chicks at the beach." Zac shared. "You know what I did?" Jessy asked. "Yeah baby I knew that night. Isaac told us and he knew you weren't anything but just you being you." Zac said as Jessy cried. "Let it go Jessy." Zac whispered, cuddling her trying to comfort her, lifting her in his arms and walking her to the next room sitting on the bed holding her, kissing her deeply. "Zac I'm so glad you care about me. How'd I luck out." Jessy sighed. "I care Jessy, so much. My heart is so full of what I feel for you." Zac expressed kissing her again with more passion than before. "Zac I care too but I don't know why." Jessy admitted. "I don't know why either but I don't care. I'm not going to question it Jessy just enjoy it. This is the greatest feeling I've ever known, you caring about me is heaven right here on earth." Zac shared kissing her passionately and as she returned his advances, Zac began caressing her body, first caressing her butt the finding his way to her breast. "Jessy you're so beautiful." Zac whispered caressing her soft skin, slipping his fingers under the towel as it came loose. "Jessy I'm sorry. Baby you're beautiful don't be embarassed." Zac pleaded searching her eyes as his hand surrounded her breast and squeezed lightly as she moaned. "Zac I want you so much and pray you want me too." Jessy said searching his eyes for his reaction. "Jessy I do want you. So bad it's all I think about is you and me together. I dream about you, us like this." Zac replied leaning and kissing her breasts, over and over as Jessy moaned and he laid her down on the bed. "Zac" Jessy gasped. "I dream of making love to you Jessy. I hardly know you and you drive me crazy. I never thought of making love before, but you changed all that. Now it's all I think of Jessy." Zac admitted lowering his lips to her breast as his hand caressed the other. "Zac" Jessy moaned, as her body reacted to his touch and her nipple hardened and Zac slipped his mouth over it lightly sucking one breast then the other, as his hand caressed her body and he moaned rubbing against her as his hand caressed lower and lower on her belly, making it's way down between her legs. "Oh Zac love me." Jessy moaned as his fingers lightly stroked her causing her body to come alive from his touch. "Jessy I do love you." Zac confessed as he teased her nipple again licking then sucking harder and harder as Jessy moaned at the touch of his fingers slipping inside her and her body reacted."Love me Zac please." Jessy begged as Zac kissed her deeply. "Someday baby but not now even though I want you so bad. Someday I'll do just that show you how much I love you." Zac explained crawling between her legs rubbing against her as they both moaned deeply. "Jessy I want you so bad." Zac moaned as he rubbed himself moaning. "Zac I love you now not someday. If you won't love me now, let me help you. Zac I feel you wanting me." Jessy said caressing him as he moaned deeply. "God Jessy, would you? Do you love me enough?" Zac asked. "Zac I want you to make love to me now but if you can't I'd do anything for you Zac. I love you." Jessy confessed as she unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. "Aaaah Jessy. Jessy no, we can't, not now it wouldn't be right. I care too much to risk losing you over some sexual gratification. You mean more to me than that." Zac explained. "You don't meant it." Jessy replied. "I do Jessy, I love you too much to do this now. I can wait for you forever if that's what it takes. I love you Jessy." Zac insisted as they sighed in each others arms, frustrated but so amazed how deeply they cared. "I love you Zac." Jessy whispered. "I love you too Jessy." Zac confessed kissing her over and over as she drifted off to sleep. A few minutes later, Zac carefully climbed off of her, lifting her and placing her under the covers. Straightening himself up, kissing her goodnight before rejoining the others, explaining things would be okay before they headed home.
